I love gingerbread, it`s essential for christmas. But as normal I want to try something new with use of the same spices. I imagined these cookies to be very chewy inside but I got a little dissapointed as they turned out crunchy on the outside and just a tiny bit chewy inside. I might have baked them too long.
8 minutes would have been sufficient I think. Good thing though, they tasted great.
